that 11.3 million is for 2025 season. Not this coming. We have 130 million in cap and by then can walk away from Hurst and Sanders so will go up even further. I'd take the gamble.  If he plays good you can walk away from Djax and save another 5million if needed.

I was thinking, wasn't he drafted in 2021? The math ain't mathing...

Nope.  No thank you.  I ain't investing money into someone that makes Jeff Otah seem reliable.  That's just a reality.  Jaycee Horn is only a dawg in Pantherland.   No one else talks about him for good reason.  He doesn't play.  3 years in and he frankly has yet to even show his stuff vs a legit good QB/WR tandem because he never is on the field for it. 

I'm focused on Brown and Luvu if I am the Panthers.  Building up a functional offense. 

No one talks about him because this team is irrelevant across the league. Barely anyone talked about Brown and dude legitimately had one of the greatest seasons for a DT ever. Nobody talks about any of our other players like Luvu either. If we were good maybe we'd get more attention but there's also the fact that no one on the national level cares about the Carolinas and sports here.

Derrick Brown still made the Pro Bowl.    Legit breakout years for non-sexy spots often show some lag w/ the national audience/perception. 

no one is talking about Jaycee Horn because he doesn't play.  And when he has played, has never even had Bradberry type moments shutting down a Matt Ryan to Julio connection to even claim he is being overlooked by people. 

I just don't get it.  Horn has been a bust.  I don't care to hang on to him.  And I don't fear the....but if we let him go and he stayed healthy mind trap.  Play the odds, crazy injury prone guys from day 1.....generally don't go on to have iron man finishes.   And I think Thomas Davis is a horrific comparable people like to make.  He didn't come straight into the league and breakdown every season despite playing a more physical role.

If you watched the games he has played you'd realize his talent is that of an elite shutdown #1 corner. There's no reason to give up on that this early because he's been hurt a few times. Maybe he never works out but what good reason is there to get rid of him now? Cap hit is irrelevant, we're rebuilding. We're not going to get any significant return with his value at its lowest point right now. There's just no reason at all to get rid of him. Let him play out another year or 2 and make decisions about his future here then. Convince me why it make sense to get rid of him now or to turn down the option.

Cool.  3 years in the books.  He hasn't played much and I green light cherry picking.  Name his signature game to date and the QB/WR duo he shutdown that actually proves he is elite. 

I mean, there are still some legit questions about his game given how little he has played.  Some of the same ones that folks wondered when he was coming out.  And we have yet to see him face those questions/tests because he never plays and when he has it largely has been against meh QB/WR combos. 

I just don't want to pay him, pick anything up or extend him.  That's my stance.  I welcome him next year.  That's it.

and the following year we have the most cap space in the league.  254 million.  We do not have a cap problem.

I do hope Luvu and Brown tie some of that up for us! fingers crossed. I hope the void years on some of these contracts of late is a thing of the past until we are actually a contender.

have to make the decision by May 2nd

Horns option will cost 11.29 mil

 

keep in mind.  We have roughly 29 mil in Space (probably will open 10 more with restructures etc)

and have Burns+Luuvu as FA.

Can he stay healthy is the question. We never had a full season from him since he has been here.

Pick it up. I am tired of being a farm organization for historic franchises. CMC hasn't missed two games in a row since he left here. DJ Moore had a productive season with Fields at QB. Stop giving away the players we draft!

 

CMC, DJ, Horn.  One of these things is not like the others. 

after 3 years in, CMC was arguably the best RB in the NFL. 

after 3 years in, DJ was putting up back to back seasonal production few WRs in the NFL were matching. 

I mean, everyone knew they were going go be good elsewhere because that's what they were here. 

the last first several first rounders that disappointed during his rookie contract and  left.... didn't go blowup elsewhere.   Butler and KB.  Heck even ones that didn't disappoint didn't go and do better.  Star.  Same for the recent 2nd rounders we didn't extend and let see the door from E. Brown to Clausen to Curtis.  

Last decade, guys who didn't pan out here didn't go pan out elsewhere.  Yet somehow people are worried about that?

      Mike Kaye predicting we trade up in 2nd round

      By ProcessBlue2 · Posted

      We need a Sam Off Ball Backer to pair with Lloyd. Lloyd is a strong Interior Will especially in Pass Coverage- but that is also Trevin Wallace’s archetype. Need a Rozeboom style run stopper. Rodriguez and Allen fit that

      Day 2 Targets/Faves

      By woahfraze · Posted

      There aren’t that many ways to screw Day 2 up.  That’d be them making an obvious reach, or selecting at one of the few positions that we are pretty solid at. Because as excited as we are for the growth and improvement this team is showing, it’s still not an overly talented or deep roster. Honestly, there aren’t really many positions I’d feel bad about. Feelings about Bryce aside (because we are not going to select a QB), it’s really RB (bad positional value) and that’s it. I guess OT too since we grabbed Freeling in Round 1.    While not as high on my wish list as other spots, you can justify WR or TE.     Interior offensive lineman who would likely take over an interior spot either this year (at center) or guard (next for cap casualty of Hunt or Lewis)? Fine by me.   Dlineman? Yes, that’s a highly rotational position and we have zero quality depth.    ILB? Yep, could stand for an upgrade over Wallace.    EDGE? Absolutely wouldn’t hate another option to spell Phillips, Scourton, and Princely.    FS?  Would love to add better coverage skill set to the backend of the defense. Moehrig and Ransom are great in run support but not as good deep. Adding a more traditional FS would allow us to mix and match/run some 3 safety sub packages and or a big nickel type look with a SS down near the line for better run support in possible pass downs.    CB? Could stand to get better at nickel.

      Sounds like Veesaar is entering the draft. He could always test the waters and pull out and return but without him our big men look like a serious liability. Better do something in the portal. If they don't do something about this portal madness my days as a college sports fan are probably numbered. This bullshit of having a nearly entirely new team every season is gonna get old fast.
